Description

Description Title of the invention Driver for a steel strip coiler Technical field The present invention relates to a driver for a steel strip coiler, having at least one supporting driving roller mounted on a frame, and at least one driving roller, which can be adjusted with respect to the supporting driving roller and is mounted on at least one rocker connected to the frame, wherein the driving roller is attached to a bearing region of the rocker, and also to a method for removing a driving roller from such a driver.
Prior art In driving devices, also called drivers, metal strip is clamped between a pair of rollers and driven or deflected. Drivers are typically used in rolling trains, where they are arranged upstream of rolled-strip coilers in order to set the strip tension upstream of the coiler by means of two rolls, namely the driving roller and the supporting driving roller.
Directional drivers have the additional object of reducing lateral creeping of the rolled strip prior to coiling. To this end, for example the pivotable driving roller is actuated in such a way and is adjusted toward the stationary supporting driving roller that, on account of the position of the driving roller with respect to the supporting driving roller, the rolled strip undergoes a desired strip tension and a desired lateral displacement.
Such directional drivers are known for example from EP747147B1 or AT500689B1.

EF747147B1 shows a directional driver, the pivotable driving roller of which is arranged mounted between two rockers by means of the two ends of the driving roller axle. The two rockers are connected rigidly to a torsion spring of a frame which forms a rotary axle for the rockers.
AT500689B1 discloses a similar directional driver, in which, however, the rockers can be pivoted independently of one another on a rotary axle of a frame.
The driving roller and the supporting driving roller of a directional driver have to be cleaned and polished regularly, since, for example on account of carbon caking, particles of dirt present on the strip to be coiled, or surface defects in the strip to be coiled which are caused during the initial pass, the surface of the driving roller and of the supporting roller become uneven, and this can lead in turn to damage to the surface of the strip to be coiled.
In EP747147B1 or AT500689B1, the driving roller axle is mounted on a bearing region of the rockers, with the driving roller being located in each case underneath the rocker. The bearings of the driving roller are, in order to avoid damage during the push of the initial pass, are set in a play-free manner for example by spring-activated balancing.
It is not possible to remove the driving roller upward, since the rocker is in the way of such a removal and blocks the upward path. For removal downward, to the right or to the left, in the operating state the path is blocked by the supporting driving roller and the frame. Before removal becomes possible, therefore a blocked path has first to be opened.
In order to make it possible to clean and polish the driving roller and the supporting driving roller, normally the pair of rockers on which the driving roller is mounted is pivoted by means of rocker cylinders into an intermediate position; this is likewise necessary for exchanging the driving roller. The intermediate position is often reached after the pair of rockers has been pivoted through 1800. Subsequently, the driving roller and the supporting driving roller are usually cleaned and sanded or polished by hand in the installed state.
There is a safety risk on account of cleaning and sanding or polishing in the plant. This is because the persons dealing with these processes have to position themselves within the plant between the plant parts, which thus have to be reliably shut down and blocked. In addition, there is a safety risk on account of the time pressure for carrying out these tasks, since cleaning and sanding or polishing have to be carried out in the time period of 10 to 15 minutes required for changing the working rolls of frameworks. If cleaning, sanding and polishing does not produce a sufficiently uniform surface on the driving roller or supporting driving roller, or in the event of damage, the driving roller or the supporting driving roller has to be removed from the frame, following pivoting of the rockers, and exchanged for a new driving roller or supporting driving roller. To this end, in the case of directional drivers according to EP747147B1 or AT500689B1, the entire rocker structure, including the driving roller, has to be uninstalled. On account of the multiplicity of connecting elements to be released and the mass of the frame including the driving roller, maintenance of driving rollers and supporting driving rollers causes a significant and time-consuming amount of work. Furthermore, it is not easy to access the driving roller for maintenance work when it is arranged between the rockers.
Summary of the invention Technical object The object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art. To this end, a driver and a method for exchanging a driving roller in the driver are proposed, said driver and method causing a less time-consuming amount of work together with fewer safety risks during the changing of the driving roller than conventional drivers and methods.
Technical solution This object is achieved by a driver for a steel strip coiler, having at least one supporting driving roller mounted on a frame, and at least one driving roller, which can be adjusted with respect to the supporting driving roller and is mounted on at least one rocker connected to the frame, wherein the driving roller is attached to a bearing region of the rocker, characterized in that the bearing region is open for the insertion or removal of the driving roller toward the side and/or upwardly when the rocker is placed in the operating position, and the driver has a fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller to the bearing region.
The bearing region should be understood to mean the region of the rocker in which the driving roller is attached to the rocker.
Advantageous effects of the invention The bearing region is open for the insertion or removal of the driving roller toward the side and/or upwardly when the rocker is positioned in the operating position, and therefore the bearing region does not prevent the driving roller from being uninstalled toward the side and/or upwardly. A driving roller can therefore be removed from the rocker toward the side and/or upwardly as required without the rocker together with the driving roller having to be removed substantially from the operating position or without the rocker together with the driving roller having to be completely dismantled. The operating position should be understood as meaning a position of the rocker which is taken up in normal operation of the driver.
The driver according to the invention has a fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller to the bearing region. As a result, it is ensured during operation that the driving roller does not escape undesirably toward the side and/or upwardly. In the fixed state, controlled displacement of the driving roller in different operating positions is possible.
Preferably, the positioning of the driving roller with respect to the supporting driving roller in the fixed state can be changed by changing the setting of the fixing mechanism into different positions.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism comprises a displaceable bar, which can preferably be fixed to the rocker.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism comprises a swing-action arrangement, the parts of which can be swung about at least one axle fastened to the rocker and which can be fixed to the rocker. For example, it may be two arms which can be swung into one another and which are locked by a displaceable wedge. Each of the arms swings in this case about a different axle.
The supporting driving roller is located underneath the driving roller. It is therefore not possible to remove the supporting driving roller upwardly while the driving roller is installed in the driver. If the driving roller has been removed, the path for removing the supporting driving roller upwardly is open.
If the driving roller is mounted between a pair of rockers, the distance between the rockers is preferably greater than the =

length of the supporting driving roller. This ensures that the supporting driving roller can be removed upwardly on account of the free space caused by the removal of the driving roller.
If the distance between the rockers in the operating position is less than the length of the supporting driving roller, it is preferred for at least one of the rockers to be able to be displaced or pivoted in relation to the other rocker when the driving roller has been uninstalled. As a result of this, the supporting driving roller can be removed.
Preferably, the steel strip coiler is a steel strip coiler for a hot strip.
Preferably, the driver is a directional driver.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving roller and the supporting driving roller are arranged in a holding arrangement.
The holding arrangement, which may be for example a holding frame, thus contains both the driving roller and the supporting driving roller.
As a result, in order to remove or insert a pair consisting of a driving roller and supporting driving roller, all that is required is to act on the holding arrangement and to remove it from the driver.
On account of the fact that the driving roller and the supporting driving roller do not have to be removed individually from or inserted individually into the driver, removal and insertion can be carried out more quickly.
The supporting driving roller can be mounted on the frame in a stationary or displaceable manner.

According to one embodiment, the driving roller axle and/or the supporting driving roller axle about which the driving roller or the supporting driving roller rotates consist(s) of at least two driving roller axle parts and/or supporting driving roller axle parts, wherein at least one of the driving roller axle parts is configured as a shaft stub which is releasably fastened - for example via a connecting flange, a perforated disk having displaceable drive pins, or a claw coupling - to the cylindrical body of the driving roller or supporting driving roller. In this case, the shaft stub can be configured as a hollow shaft, into which a motor-driven shaft can be introduced for driving the driving roller or the supporting driving roller. This makes it possible to remove the driving roller and/or supporting driving roller quickly from the driver, and this reduces the safety risk caused by time pressure while changing the driving roller.
According to one embodiment of the driver according to the invention, the supporting driving roller can be removed from the driver laterally in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
It can also be introduced into the driver laterally in the direction of its longitudinal axis.
In the drivers shown in EP747147B1 or AT500689B1, one end of the rockers can be rotated about a rotary axle while the other end of the rockers is connected to an actuating device such as, for example, a pressure-medium cylinder, preferably a hydraulic cylinder. By adjusting this actuating device, the rockers can be pivoted about their rotary axle, for example in order to allow the removal of the driving roller or in order to control or regulate the distance between the driving roller and the supporting driving roller.
The bearing region of the driving roller is located between the pivotable end of the rocker and the end of the rocker connected to the actuating device.

In the case of the driver according to the invention, too, the rockers can be pivoted about a rotary axle arranged in a rotary axle region of the rockers, and they are connected in an actuating region to an actuating device. In this case, the bearing region of the driving roller can, as in EP747147B1 or AT500689B1, be located between the rotary axle region and the actuating region.
According to another embodiment, the rotary axle region can be located between the bearing region and the actuating region. An advantage of such an embodiment is that during the pressing of the driving roller, forces flow off better into the rocker and more favorable stress states for the rocker are generated. The effective distance of an actuating arrangement that acts on one end of the rocker can also be increased structurally more easily in such a structure than in embodiments configured as in EP747147B1 or AT500689B1. On account of an increased effective distance, the same forces can be achieved with smaller actuating devices or larger forces can be achieved with the same actuating devices.
A further subject of the present invention is a method for removing a driving roller from a driver according to the invention.
This method is characterized in that it comprises the steps of - opening the fixing mechanism, - removing the driving roller toward the side and/or upwardly from the driver.
Opening the fixing mechanism should be understood as meaning that the fixing of the driving roller to the bearing region is released.
The supporting driving roller in a driver is secured in the driver by fixing arrangements in order that its position does not change at all in normal operation or its position does not change beyond an acceptable degree. The supporting driving roller can in this case be fixed so that no movement at all is possible. It can also be displaceable to an acceptable or desired degree. The degree of displaceability that is acceptable or desired depends on the respective operating state. In order to be able to change the deflection forces of the driver in a manner dependent on the strip thickness and strip quality, it is possible for example to change the distance between the axles of the driving roller and the supporting driving roller to a certain degree.
One embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that, after the removal of the driving roller, it additionally comprises the steps of - releasing fixing arrangements for fixing the supporting driving roller in the driver, - removing the supporting driving roller upwardly from the driver.
On account of the opening caused by the removal of the driving roller, the supporting driving roller can also be removed upwardly from the driver.
According to another embodiment, the supporting driving roller can be pulled laterally, that is to say in the direction of its longitudinal axis, from the driver in order to remove it. This can take place before or after the removal according to the invention of the driving roller. It can also take place during the removal according to the invention of the driving roller from the driver; in this way, the driving roller and the supporting driving roller can be removed more quickly than if the two removals take place in succession.
The method according to the invention, during the removal of the driving roller, then additionally comprises the steps of - releasing fixing arrangements for fixing the supporting driving roller in the driver, - removing the supporting driving roller by pulling it laterally out of the driver.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving roller and the supporting driving roller are removed from the driver in pairs by removing a holding arrangement in which a pair consisting of a driving roller and a supporting driving roller is arranged.

Description of the embodiments Figure la shows a side view of a driver 1 according to the invention for a steel strip coiler, specifically a directional driver for a hot-strip coiler. The driver 1 comprises a supporting driving roller 3 mounted on a frame 2, and a driving roller 4 that can be adjusted with respect to the supporting driving roller. In figure 1, the driving roller 4 and the supporting driving roller 3 are illustrated merely by dashed lines, since in the side view they are hidden by the frame 2 and other parts of the driver. The driving roller 4 is mounted on a pair of rockers 5a, 5b connected to the frame. In the side view in figure 1, only one rocker 5a can be seen; the second rocker 5b of the pair is hidden by the rocker 5a in this view.
The pair of rockers 5a, 5b is located in the operating position. The pair of rockers 5a, 5b can be pivoted about a rotary axle 6 of the frame 2. The driving roller 4 is attached to a bearing region 7 of the rockers. The bearing region 7 is open for the insertion or removal of the driving roller 4 toward the side upwardly with the rockers in the operating position. The bearing region is shown by way of a wavy closed line. A fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller 4 to the bearing region 7 is present and is configured as a displaceable bar 8. In the illustrated position of the bar 8, the latter has not yet been displaced into its end position, in which it fixes the driving roller 4 to the bearing region 7. To present a clear overview, a part of the rocker 5 is illustrated in section so that part of the course of the bar 8 in the rocker 5 is shown. When the bar 8 is moved from the illustrated position into its end position, as can be seen in the following figure lb, the driving roller 4 is fixed and the balancing pots 20a, 20b for setting the bearings of the driving roller 4 in a play-free manner are activated.
Figure lb shows an elevated oblique view of a driver 1 according to figure la. Parts identical to figure la are provided with identical reference signs. In contrast to figure la, the bar 8 of the fixing mechanism is illustrated in its end position, in which it fixes the driving roller to the bearing region 7 of the rockers 5a, 5b. The driving roller 4 and the supporting driving roller 3 can be seen more clearly than in figure la. The second rocker 5b of the pair of rockers 5a, 5b can be seen, unlike in figure la.
Both in figure la and in figure lb, one end of the rockers 5a, 5b is connected in each case with an actuating device, specifically a hydraulic cylinder 9a, 9b. By adjusting this hydraulic cylinder 9a, 9b, the rockers 5a, 5b can be pivoted about their rotary axle 6, for example in order to set the distance of the driving roller 4 from the supporting driving roller 3.
The bearing region 7 of the driving roller is located between that end of the rockers 5a, 5b which can be pivoted about the rotary axle 6 and that end of the rockers 5a, 5b which is connected to the hydraulic cylinder 9a, 9b of the actuating device.
Figure 2 shows a further elevated oblique view of a driver according to figure lb. Parts identical to figure lb are provided with identical reference signs. In contrast to figure lb, the bar 8 of the fixing mechanism is illustrated in its starting position, in which it does not fix the driving roller 4 to the bearing region 7. The driving roller 4 and the supporting driving roller 3 are not installed in the driver 1.
They are arranged in a holding arrangement, specifically a holding frame 10. The installation and removal of the driving roller 4 and the supporting driving roller 3 take place by introducing the holding frame 10 into the frame 2 of the driver 1 and removing it therefrom.
Figure 3 shows a side view similar to figure la of a driver according to the invention. Parts identical to figure la are provided with identical reference signs. To present a clear overview, the driving roller 4 and the supporting driving roller 3 are not illustrated. The rotary axle 6 is arranged in a rotary axle region 11 of the rocker 5a. The hydraulic cylinder 9a is arranged in an actuating region 12 of the rocker 5a. In contrast to figure la, the rotary axle region 11 is located between the bearing region 7 and the actuating region 12.
Figure 4 shows an elevated oblique view similar to figure lb of a driver according to the invention. Parts identical to figure lb are provided with identical reference signs. No driving roller has been inserted into the driver 1 and thus it is not illustrated. The supporting driving roller 3 has likewise not been inserted. Figure 4 shows the supporting driving roller in the removed state. The supporting driving roller 3 can be removed from the driver 1 or can be introduced into the driver 1 laterally in the direction of its longitudinal axis. Figure 4 shows a removal framework, on which the supporting driving roller 3 is guided out of the driver 1 or is introduced into the driver 1.
The fixing mechanism for fixing the driving roller 4 to the bearing region 7 does not have to be configured as a displaceable bar 8. Figure 5 shows an alternative fixing mechanism, which has a swing-action arrangement having two arms 14, 16, which can be swung into one another and are locked by a displaceable wedge arrangement 18. Each of the arms 14, 16 swings in this case about a different axle: arm 14 about axle 15 and arm 16 about axle 17. The two arms 14, 16 are connected to the rocker 5a via the axles 15, 17. The displaceable wedge arrangement 18 is fastened to the arm 16; it can be displaced by means of a hydraulic cylinder 19. The arm 14 has protuberances which fit into indentations on the displaceable wedge arrangement 18. When the fixing mechanism is closed, the arms 14, 16 swing into the illustrated position and the hydraulic cylinder 19 displaces the displaceable wedge arrangement 18 such that the indentations slide over the protuberances. In this way, the two arms 14, 16 are locked together.

Figure 6 shows a side view similar to figure la and figure 3 of a driver according to the invention. Parts identical to figure la are provided with identical reference signs. The rotary axle 6 is arranged in a rotary axle region 11 of the rocker 5a. The hydraulic cylinder 9a is arranged in an actuating region 12 of the rocker 5a. As in figure 3, in contrast to figure la, the rotary axle region 11 is located between the bearing region 7 and the actuating region 12. Figure 3 and figure 6 differ in the form of the rocker 5a and the way in which the driving roller is attached to the bearing region of the rocker.
